Mount Airy Bible Church is a ministry centered on the Word of God. From its very beginning in 1973, MABC has done all it can to lead people to Jesus Christ and train them in the Scriptures. In that vein, we offer Bible training for men through our Men with a Mission program (three years of investment from our senior pastor), regular ladies’ Bible studies, AWANA (a children’s training program), and expositional preaching and teaching on Sunday mornings. Our commitment to the sound handling of God’s Word is unwavering. But this is not just a commitment to academia; we do this in order to transform lives for the pleasure of our God.

This ministry meets on Sunday mornings with the purpose of equipping the saints for service to God and neighbors. Gifted men and women teach classes on books of the Bible and on subjects that pertain to living a life that is pleasing to God. There are several classes to choose from and a new class begins each quarter of the year. Classes start at 10 AM.

Apologetics

The apologetics ministry exists to equip and train Christians to defend the Christian faith and to provide answers to non-Christians.

AWANA is fun with a purpose—to reach and train kids for Jesus Christ. The goal of AWANA Clubs is to reach boys and girls for Christ and train them to serve Him. The AWANA Clubs program is distinctively Christian and Bible-centered. The club meetings are open to all. AWANA Cubbies are ages 3 and 4, Sparks are Kindergarten through 2nd grade, and Truth & Training are 3rd through 12th grade. AWANA meets every Wednesday night, 6:45 – 8:15 PM, from September through May. For more information, visit the AWANA Clubs International site.

Bible Studies

There are several Bible studies taking place within the church; attendants range from only women to only men to full families. If you’re interested in attending one of these Bible studies and don’t know how to find it, ask any of the Pastors or Elders and they will put you in touch with one of the study leaders.

Children’s Church: Treasure Cove

We seek to provide children (ages 3 through fifth grade) with an environment where they can learn about God through songs, skits, Bible lessons, and much more. Treasure Cove meets during the 8:30 and 11 AM worship service each Sunday. Click here to register your child/children.

Men With a Mission

Mount Airy Bible Church has a three-year program designed to better equip the men of the church to be strong disciples of Jesus Christ. We desire all of the men of the church to go through this series of classes; from this group, the leadership of the church is developed. Classes cover disciple making, devotions, prayer, evangelism, and all key areas to help a man be a man of God.

Missions

The Missions Committee focuses on the support of missionaries locally and overseas. They also determine which missionaries we support and how we support them.

Music

Mount Airy Bible Church’s music team exists to identify and train musicians to serve God skillfully and humbly. The music team is a diverse group that includes a Sunday morning music team, Christmas and Easter choirs, and various small ensembles that include vocal and contemporary groups. Our sound is current with today’s contemporary music, but we also acknowledge the rich lyrics and history of hymns and sing them as well.

Nursery

Mount Airy Bible Church’s nursery provides care for children from infant up to age three during Sunday worship services and Sunday school. Nursery is also available during Wednesday night activities and some special events. We look forward to providing a safe, loving environment.

Small Groups

Our small group ministry, called Faith Groups, gather monthly (at a minimum) and exist to provide opportunities for increased fellowship among our church family. Faith groups are small groups of 6-8 adults (plus children) who gather for food, fellowship, sharing, and prayer.

Special Needs

Our special needs ministry, A.B.L.E. (All Believers Live Eternally), works with families during our 11 AM Sunday services. We provide individual support to children with special needs so they can be fully included in all areas of church life.
